Herr Emmerig, of Lanngen, in an arti-
Gle in Die Natur on German bees as storm
warmers, advances the theory that, on the
wise gentle and harmless. become excited
and exceedingly irritable, and will attack
any one, even their usual attendant ap-
proachiLg their hives. A succession of IN
stances are given in which the barometer
and hygrometer fOretold storm, the bees
remaining quiet and no storm oc>uued;
or the instruments gave no intimation of
storm, but the bees for hours before were
irritable, and the storm came.

The ancient Roman coffin, according to
Pliny, was generally of stone. In some
cases it was of peculiar kind of stone,
which was claimed to have the faculty of
destroying the entire body with the ex-
ceptlon OF the teeth in forty days. Hence
the name ''sarcophagus. literally mean
ing flesh eater. The stone is now sup
posed to have been species of lime stone.

Back to Their Old Homes.

SANTE FE, N. NJ, May 3l.-The Jicar-
rilla Apache tribe Of Indians, numbering
5O2 in charge of Special Agent Welton,
passed through Santa Fe in a body Satur-
d ~, en- route to their old reservation in
Northern New Mexico, which was recently
restored to them by order OF President
Cleveland, and where they will make their
future home. The procession was an unique
one, the Indians travelling in true Apache
fashion, most of the women being mount
eli on ponies or burroS with a child IN
front, and a little one either hanging on
behind OF bound to her back in blanket.
OF ponies, burros and dogs, pack animals,
rawhide, bundles, tepee poles, &C., there
seemed to be no end. Capt. Welton led
the procession, and three United States
cayalrymen brought up the rear, while the
direction of the band, route, &c., was in
the hands of ten stalwart bucks, who mar
shaled the tribe through town and obeyed
Agent Welton's orders TO the letter. In
ing, forty-one Jicarrilla boys and girls
from the Roman Indian School were drawn
up in line and exchanged signs of recOgni-
ton with members of the tribe as they
passed. Many of the women checked their
horses moment and called out to a son or
daughter, who walked solemnly forward to
the street and shook hands, ard there were
tears in the eyes of the smaller girls when
they shook hands for good by and resumed
their place among the pupils. The bucks
in the party wore an expression of general
satisfaction, as in fact did the women also,
for they are delighted at the IDEA of once
more getting back to their former homes.

Mr.. w. G. Barney, witness before
the Telephone Committee of the New
York Legislature. explains that it is the
smart trick of the Bell Company to hold
back new Improvements in its possession
so as to get new patents as the old ones
run out, and thus continue the mon
opoly
In other words, the Bell Company con
trolls two pending claims for the patent
ing of better transmitter than the one
which its patrons are now compelled TO
use, and has controlled them for nine or
ten years. BY continuances and delays
caused by Its lawyers, who represent both
sides in the interference, it has succeed
ed in keeping these claims alive and in
postponing settlement of the dispute,
with the intention of getting new
monopoly patent at the time which 1t
will sorely need one.
